Formats
Half-day Workshop
A three-hour, interactive small group session providing in-depth information and hands-on work with a single topic. Cross-organizational teams of presenters are encouraged to submit.
Panel Presentation
A 15 minute presentation to be grouped with other presentations on the same or similar topic. A question answer period will follow the entire group of presentations.
Technology Demonstration
A 20 minute session demonstrating technologies that implement MedBiquitous and other learning technology standards applicable to healthcare education and competence assessment. Each session will include 10 minutes of demonstration and a 10 minute question and answer period. The demonstration will be given to small groups of attendees five times over a 100 minute period as attendees circulate among the demonstrations of greatest interest to them. This format is intended to provide an opportunity for direct interaction between attendees and standards implementers. As a consideration to fellow presenters, refrain from using external speaker systems.
